The Green Belt Movement is a community (社區(qū)) group in Kenya.It aims to help protect the environment,mainly through planting trees.
The Green Belt Movement was started in 1977 by Wangari Maathai.When Wangari started the Green Belt Movement,she thought much about both people and the environment.She thought that if people grew the trees themselves,it would help them to understand the environment and develop their local cultures.
Today,the Green Belt Movement works like this.Members from the Movement go to communities to talk about tree planting and starting nurseries (苗圃).If the local people are interested,they can join the Movement as a group.When they join,they receive a lot of information about how to prepare the soil (土壤),and collect and grow seeds.When the people know what to do,they can collect seeds,plant them into seedlings (幼苗).When the seedlings are big enough,they will be planted on farms.The Green Belt Movement pays the nursery money for each seedling that is still alive after three months.
The Green Belt Movement now has over 6,000 community nurseries in Kenya,and many more in other African countries.Over the last 30 years,it has planted more than 30 million trees in parks and on farms.
The Green Belt Movement also runs programs to help people start gardens and grow plants that are local to their area.This means that many communities can now take care of almost all their own food needs,and they can often make extra income (額外的收入) as well.
In 2004,Wangari Maathai won the Nobel Peace Prize.Giving the prize to Wangari showed that peace doesn't just mean stopping wars.It can also mean making the world a better place to live in.
